Ivonne Garcia Certified Dog Trainer

I’ve spent the majority of my adult life working in dog daycares and have been training dogs professionally since 2018. After moving to Sacramento, I spent eight years at a well-established local daycare and training facility, where I ran the training department and taught staff about dog behavior. That experience deepened my passion for helping dogs and people communicate clearly and confidently.

I love watching dogs interact—how they make friends, read one another, and even remember playmates after months apart. Those observations shape how I train: I focus on clear communication, reliable cues, and real-world practice so dogs can succeed in everyday life.

My goal is to build and maintain a strong, trusting relationship between you and your dog. I enjoy the meaningful bonds I’ve developed with clients and their pets, and I’m committed to helping owners gain knowledge, skills, and confidence. Training should empower both dog and handler—so your dog is happier, safer, and more enjoyable to live with, and you feel equipped to guide them.

Whether you’re working on basic manners, managing reactivity, or strengthening your bond, I’ll create a plan that fits your goals and your dog’s temperament. Let’s build a confident, cooperative relationship that lasts.
